Currently an audit manager at GT. I've been approached by BDO and they are offering a big comp increase. Is it worth leaving....considering I'm highly regarded at GT and like my clients. Also, I've gotten the impression BDO is a shit show but it seems they don't give a shit about quality

Avoid BDO, you are spot on with your last sentence

BDO is also in the middle of hiring a bunch of external partners from Big 4. That may help to even out the issues you are experiencing BDO1.

If you like your clients, stay. You'll have to start from scratch at a new firm and it will take years to build up a client base you like since your first clients will likely be ones no one want. You'll also need to redevelop your reputation. This is pretty much a lateral move, so unless you don't like your current situation, probably not worth it in the long run.

No, stay at GT. BDO is worse IMO

Don’t join BDO for your own sake

GT far superior to BDO. I agree with the comment about BDO above.

Maybe you can let them know BDO gave you a big offer that you’re considering and they’ll match it. Just be aware this is likely your one and only trump card for the next several years, so be wise when using it!

This! If you are happy at GT use the offer to get a raise and stay! It’s not all bad at BDO, but I concur with a lot of what BDO 1 said. We have lost so many good people, a lot of people are just breaking down both mentally and physically (anxiety, depression, high blood pressure....), and waiting for the next round of PCAOB picks is ulcer inducing! Can’t wait to be told by people who haven’t performed an audit in god knows how long (National).... that I suck. Sorry, that took a turn... but I think you understand what I mean. Good luck!

@OP, I was also approached by BDO office after they took over one of our clients. But after asking around (the manager I would’ve worked with) decided not to. Similar to BDO1 comments is what I received. West Coast for what’s its worth, and yes P1, I spoke to that Principle and he was nice, unfortunately did not seem true for rest of office.

How much of an increase? What group? On track to make partner?

BDO, at least in my region, has made strategic hires and acquisitions. So it can’t be all bad.

I have 2 very close friends that went to Bdo and have left within a year given their lack of ethics and short cutting on audits that they didn’t feel comfortable with the risk. Some things were flat wrong but they said to just move on.
